    Update erased system files, personal data.

    Our windows 10 pc updated this morning and erased all of our personal data and some critical system files. When it starts up now we get the usual start up screen then it goes to the please wait loading screen for about 30 min or so before going to
    a blank desktop. The start menu does not work, the file explorer will not open, the only thing that will start is the task manager, which shows nothing. My kids had a lot of stuff on this pc, any suggestions on an actual fix for this. As a consumer of
    microsoft products which for the most part ive had very little problem with I dont want to hear how this is my problem Microsoft update destroyed our pc the responsibility is soley in the hands of Microsoft.

    When selecting the keep my files option, will my personal data be erased?

    "Erase this disk" option greyed out

    I use DVD+RW's on a daily basis -- writing, erasing, and rewriting. However, recently, the "erase this disk" option in File Explorer is greyed out.

    The first time it happened, having failed to find a solution online, I restored my C: partion, which fixed the problem, but is a bit heavy handed.

    It's happened again today. I can erase the disk using CDBurnerXP, but that's an extra step which I would like to avoid. It affects all disks, so it's not caused by a faulty disk.

    I would appreciate any suggestions for how "erase this disk" could be brought back to life.

The procedure only offers the option "keep nothing" for a clean install. The other two options (to keep personal files data and programs) are not available. What could be the reason for that? 181640
